=====Possible Use Cases===== | |||
(from Wiki Page) | |||
:'''Curriculum packaging''' | |||
1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term. | |||
2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content | |||
(such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations | |||
(a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity). | |||
3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies. | |||
4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed. | |||
:'''Full image backup or sharing''' | |||
1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation. | |||
2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality. | |||
3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup. | |||
4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores. | |||
5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones. | |||
This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired. | |||
